Let’s Do It In Public

I tuned into watch The Amazing Race 16 last night (Tivo saved the day yet again!) and was pleasantly surprised by the mode of transportation the racers had to travel to get to LAX…my fav, public transit!

Over the years I’ve been all over the world and been on countless subways, buses and ferries. I’m ranking the public transit systems by the following criteria:

1. Geographic reach (does it cover one neighborhood or the entire city)
2. Easy to navigate (what if you don’t speak the language)
3. Will it get you to/from the airport
4. Hours of operation

22. Houston
21. Las Vegas
20. Denver
19. Phoenix
18. San Diego
17. Dallas
16. Los Angeles
15. Minneapolis
14. Philadelphia
13. Marburg, Germany
12. Atlanta
11. Seattle
10. Austin
9. San Francisco (includes BART and MUNI)
8. Boston
7. Chicago
6. Washington, DC
5. Portland
4. New York City
3. London
2. Moscow
